This week was full of fun. We learned about our solar system and all the special characteristics of the planets. I think we may have some future astronauts in our class!
We did some fun games on the computers.
Astronaut Space Helmets
Students wrote in their journals about which planet they liked the most and why.
Space Alien Puzzle
We learned so many fun facts about outer space, we loved reading and exploring these great books! We even played a game of "Solar System Challenge", students had to test their knowledge in this fun game. These smart Kindergarten-ers know all about the order of the planets, the largest planet, the smallest, the hottest and many more interesting facts about space!
Thursday was May 5, Cinco de Mayo!! We celebrated this Mexican holiday, it was an extra fun day! We enjoyed learning about the traditions of other cultures!
